What we do at SOAR

We want SOAR to be the absolute best part of a students day every single time a student comes to SOAR.

The SOAR program offers a wide variety of experiences for students from 3 pm to 6 pm each day. These experiences include: homework assistance, Clubs, field trips, meals, and Foozle Friday!

Homework

We desire for every child to grow academically while they are involved in the SOAR program. Through daily homework assistance we expect to see gains in reading levels, test scores, and the students overall reading enjoyment.

CLUBS

One of the students favorite times of the day is when they get to go to different clubs. We have three focuses in which all of our clubs fall under: Fitness, STEM, and Creative Arts.

FOOZLE Friday

We use Foozle Friday's to inject a bit of random fun into our program each week. Special guests, field trips, free choice activities, and movie days are just some of the activities you will see on Foozle Friday.

Ellie is a native of Pennsylvania but has called Northwest Arkansas home since 2010. Her favorites subjects in school were art, literature and history and she still loves to draw, read and learn about the past. Before SOAR, Ellie worked as a Camp War Eagle counselor for 2 summers and as a assistant director for the CWE365 year round program in Bentonville from 2010-2015. Her favorite part of SOAR is seeing students happily explore new activities and find confidence as they learn. Her dream SOAR day would include lots of messy art and music making or a field trip to Washington DC or Philadelphia to learn about the history of our nation. Ellie is married to Jackson and they live in Rogers.
